Seizures in children: Seizures vary; little stares that stop them during "preferred" activities, sudden yucky smell / taste , or convulsions. Convulsion maybe whole body or stiffening or jerking of arm or leg or 1/2 face. Other signs: newly wetting the bed, changed personality, worse @ school, having to relearn.
